Spectrum Retirement

We moved our 95 year old mother to assisted living at HighPointe from a much larger independent living facility in June, 2016, due to her advancing dementia and isolation. In spite of a rough beginning due to her resistance and an initial fall, we have been extremely pleased with HighPointe! We enrolled Mom in the Residence Club, which hosts and encourages participation in a wonderful variety of daily activities, such as crafts, physical games, special and seasonal celebrations, interesting outings, movies, etc, which keeps her engaged and active. It is so heartwarming to see her smile and laugh and enjoy her final years! The staff is incredibly friendly, caring, patient and engaging. Mom also enjoys the food and socialization during the meals. We appreciate and recommend the great job that HighPointe does in caring for our mother.

We moved our 95 year old mother to HighPointe in June, 2016 from independent living in a much larger facility due to her advancing dementia; and we have been impressed with the personal and caring environment at HighPointe. Further, she is socializing and interacting with other residents/staff so much more than where she was before; she has friends; the staff proactively engages her in many activities which has alleviated much of her boredom, feelings of worthlessness and depression. We haven't seen her laugh and interact so much for a very long time, so it is wonderful to see! We are very pleased with the services offered, and the friendly and caring staff. We feel we made the best choice possible to meet her needs.

My mom has been at Palmilla over two years. They have been wonderful to her. I'd particularly like to thanks Anne Breen for her exceptional care and kindness

I recently visited a family friend who lives at Westview. At the time of my visit, they were having happy hour. The residents seemed to be having a great time - enjoying the live music and food and drink. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Westview to anyone looking for a place such as this for their loved on.

Everyone at Lincoln Meadows is so friendly! Just love them. Mom loves the food and I'm hoping she meets some new friends there.

This is a nice independent living community. We are very pleased with it so far. The staff are nice and helpful. I have no complaints about this community. The food is good and the community is kept clean.

The staff at Crestview Senior Living are very friendly and have been very helpful getting mom settled in. The community is only eight years old and is gorgeous. It is very well kept and updated throughout. They have a variety of great activities for my mom to choose from and participate in. The community is very welcoming and secure.

If I had to choose over again I would have chosen this community even though it is a little more expensive than the one we chose. I did see the residents enjoying some of the activities offered. The staff we meet while we were touring were very friendly.

We really enjoyed the tour of Lombard Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. The community is very well kept and clean. The staff were very friendly and were able to answer all of my questions. I really wanted Lombard Place for my loved one but they do not offer respite care.

With the updated, open and clean atmosphere upon entrance, I felt right at home when looking at placed for my dad. The level of care he receives is wonderful and everyone in the building is friendly. We moved Dad in in August of 2015, after searching for the best fit for our family. Though his needs for assistance are not great right now, we wanted a place that he would be able to gradually receive more care as he needs, with the decline in his memory from Alzheimer's. We were very nervous about moving him into an assisted living facility, but he has settled in nicely. He has made friends, gained healthy weight and engages in many of the activities and trips they offer.

My first week impression is very good!! We now have seen three places and by far this one is so much better!!! ????People are kind and gentle!! The place is so pretty, as well. We were at a place that over-medicated my mom. And she got full-speed delirium--which was much worse than my dads Alzheimers!! Park meadows carefully does meds if you use their WONDERFUL cautious doc!!!

My Mom has been in Memory Care for six months. This is a beautiful facility and has the atmosphere of a four star hotel. The first month was rough, but after that point the transition smoothed out. The staff was very helpful in supervising this transition period both for her and myself. Only on occasion she experiences a rough day. Over all I have been happy with the facility, staff, care, food service, and general care of the building. The chef is great! I did meet with a corporate representative supervising this facility, she was very receptive of several concerns. I noticed these were addressed and taken care of immediately. As with all geriatric facilities one must keep in touch, making sure your loved one is getting the care you want for them and pay for.

We toured this community and it had a lot to offer. They have lots of activities and the staff are very nice. They have been open longer than other communities in the area but they keep the community clean. Mom was on the waiting list but another community, also great, opened up first.

Mom is doing better since moving into this community. The staff are great and are very attentive to the residents. They go out of their way to make sure the residents are happy. She goes out on outings and enjoys some of the other activities available. The community is very clean and I would recommend it.

Lombard Place is beautifully appointed. It is a 4 story newer building that is exceptionally clean. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Residents started occupying the building last August and right now I believe it is at full capacity. Because there are now more residents, I think the number of activities could be increased. I also think new residents should have a more thorough orientation to the programs. A new resident welcoming committee could be established with a set plan for new residents--who, what, when, where. This would be helpful especially for older individuals who are experiencing fear and are uncomfortable with change. My parent is very satisfied with the food. Her caregivers are helpful. I especially like that a nurse is on duty 24/7. The safety measures in place for residents are excellent. I would recommend Lombard Place. My comments above are made to strengthen an already very good facility.

My mom has been at Cedar Lake since it opened almost two years ago. She was very reluctant to make the move. However in a very short period of time her mind and her strength both improved. She is constantly stimulated as she is encouraged to participant in the many activities. She feels that this is her home. The staff has been amazing in so many areas. I always want to compliment the front desk, the activities directors, the nursing staff and the aides. I'm very glad that we chose to place my mom in "The Lake House" as we fondly call Cedar Lake.

Visited a relative! Outstanding facility. Friendly staff lovely decor. We walked to dining room to visit,that area was most pleasing.

The staff at Lombard Place are very professional yet friendly...Upon entering you will be greeted with a smiling & knowledgeable staff member (GiGi)... Activities are planned through out the day if you care to participate.... Facility is new & offers comfortable surroundings....Was given very supportive help in filling out the admission papers....

We recently moved our parents to Lombard Place. With the help of LP's dedicated staff our move and their transition went smoothly. Since living there, our parents love the food, the staff has been very attentive to their needs and the facility is beautiful and well maintained. I would highly recommend Lombard Place.

In shopping for a comfortable and safe atmosphere for our parents, Homestead At Hickory View, Washington, MO fit ALL of our needs. Barb [removed] helped us through the whole process and was always available to answer any questions that we had. The atmosphere is delightful yet quiet, the food is good and nutritious. there are extra services such as medication dispensing, helping with showers, anything that may help your loved, ones plus give the family peace of mind. Mother and Dad are enjoying their new residence and we hope they will be here for many years. And....we enjoy visiting them here.
